The politicians that run Cook and Sangamon Counties are a cancer eating at the entire sate. As for the city proper, I could care less. It is what it is — and it does not excite me. I’m not an urban city dweller because it’s too much like living in a hive. The only things that have interested me were the Shedd Aquarium, Field Natural History Museum, Adler Planetarium, and Museum of Science and Industry.
All of which are on the same campus. In any case Chicago is one of the most diversified and dynamic cities in the world. I love it.
